- More VM tweaks and tuneups
Running 2.6.3-lofft-snsus-264rc1mm2vm (nfsd loff_t, sunrpc locking & -mm VM patches). Seems to be working well.
OK, good.
Most of the previous 2.6 kernels I was running on these servers would be lightly hitting swap by now. This definitely looks better to me.
It sounds worse to me. "Lightly hitting swap" is good. It gets rid of stuff,
freeing up physical memory.
But I do not see a lot of difference here.
The 900MB desktop machine is
300M into swap after 24 hours. That's usual.
